Country guide

EV charging in Latvia

Latvia built a national fast-charging network with EU support, and it shows in the data: of the roughly 90 sites we index, almost all are fast. E-Mobi, the state-backed operator, runs the bulk of it. CCS and CHAdeMO both feature on the DC side, with Type 2 for AC. The compact country is easy to cover with a modest network.

E-Mobi dominates our Latvian data, the result of a coordinated national rollout funded partly by the EU, which is why the fast-charger ratio is so high. The network was built around DC charging on the main roads, with both CCS and CHAdeMO supported to cover the mix of cars on Latvian roads. Riga leads coverage, with Sigulda, Talsi and other towns dotted along the routes.

Small and well connected

Latvia is compact, so the national fast network keeps you close to a charger on the main routes, and a single DC stop covers most trips. Cross-border driving into Lithuania, Estonia and the rest of the EU is seamless on the shared standards, and the Baltic states together form an easy region to tour by EV. Rural back roads are thinner, so plan those legs.

Access and cost

Access is by app and RFID, with roaming spreading across the Baltic region. Public DC is billed per kWh. Latvian electricity is mid-range for the region, so home charging is the economical default where you have a parking spot with power. The state-led network means a relatively consistent charging experience across the country, which is not always the case in early-stage markets.

FAQ
Why is almost all Latvian charging fast?
Because Latvia built a coordinated national fast-charging network with EU support, designed around DC charging on the main roads, so the fast-charger ratio is unusually high. E-Mobi, the state-backed operator, runs the bulk of it, with both CCS and CHAdeMO supported. That gives the compact country good DC coverage on its main routes from a small absolute number of sites.
Can I tour the Baltics by EV from Latvia?
Easily. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia all use Type 2 for AC and CCS for DC, with CHAdeMO also present, and roaming is spreading across the region. Distances are short and the national networks cover the main routes, so a Baltic tour is straightforward on the connector side. Plan rural back-road legs in advance, but the main corridors are well served.
Which network should I use in Latvia?
E-Mobi, the state-backed national operator, runs most of the network and is the default for charging, offering a relatively consistent experience across the country thanks to the coordinated rollout. Access is by app and RFID, billed per kWh, with roaming spreading across the Baltic region. Riga has the densest coverage, with chargers dotted along the main routes elsewhere.
Is home charging the cheapest option in Latvia?
Generally yes. Latvian electricity is mid-range for the region, so charging at home is the economical default where you have a parking spot with power. Public DC fast charging costs more and is billed per kWh. A time-of-use tariff helps, and for daily mileage a home charge beats the national fast network, which is best reserved for longer trips.
